Another extremely angry and dark song from my past. Recorded in 1997 on a four-track reel-to-reel tape machine in my apartment. BIRTH OF A GREY GOD continues the science fiction dark fantasy story called THE FOREST BEYOND I had written the previous year. The Baphomet has murdered God with a slash of the Holy Firmament. God's blood rains upon the Earth, poisoning the soil with eternal life. Mankind now has to manage their dead in a different manner. They cannot bury or burn the bodies on Earth, for they will only return as Shralls ( the undead). The worldwide Muertek Corporation enlists the living to freighter bodies to the moon. However, little does Muertek know that the moon harbors the soul of DESALIN. When DESALIN has enough souls, added with the sacred soul of AETHE, the holy Child, this new Grey God will be born to bring the everlasting NOTHINGNESS.
lyrics
Lunar Mother your time of birth has come
Your child had carved the path
Open Thine eyes, lay their secrets on the shore
Show us the emptiness within
We fill Her belly with the souls of our own kin
She is the prophecy and all else is myth
Throws down our cities of steel and feeble stone
She know we are rotten and we are not alone
Mankind are the maggots her life doth purify
The Earth is cleansed of flesh
We are NOTHING in Her eyes.
Lunar Mother your time of birth has come
A child had carved the path
Open Thine eyes, lay their secrets on the shore
Show us the emptiness within
Behold your new God of Grey
Disembodiment is only a heartbeat away
Desalin is Mother of all that Chaos brings
Cancels eternity, there is NOTHING in Her eyes.
Penetrating flash and swirling chaos blinds
Ashes to nothing, We are nothing in Her eyes.
Her human daughter, a child of the trees
Provides the Sacred Soul
Bringing all of Earth to it's knees
Bleak innocence and soul combines
Sanctions Her freedom to enter our realm of life
When dawn breaks, nothing shall remain
Nothing but Chaos which fills the emptiness with pain.
